STAY, BEAUTIFUL BABY

Sorry its been so long, I actually hadn't checked my email til this morning. This week was unusually stressful and busy for me. I procrastinated Hmark working till Wed Thurs and Fri, and had to work a shitload on Fri, a shitload being 4.5 hours. Its not much compared to an average work shift, but its hell when you're in Wally World, stuck with hundreds of idiots looking for easter baskets celo wrap. Who actually WRAPS baskets in clear plastic? My parents....I mean....the Easter Bunny, certainly never did.

Jon Heder/Napoleon Dynamite came to the SUB on Wednesday, it was SWEET. It didn't seem like he knew why he was here....he talked about himself for like...20 minutes, then did a Q&A session (he made sure to tell us Q&A stood for Question & Answer). Some kids asked absolute crap, others did cool stuff like bring him tots and ask him to dance. Turns out the dance in the film was improv, wasn't coreographed (sp?) at all. And it also turns out Uncle Rico is a vegetarian. Getting hit in the face with a steak hurt. Falling off the fence hurt. Tina the lama belongs to the director's family.

Tuesday the 22nd was Matt and I's 6 month anniversary. Thats half of a year. Thats crazy. We went to lunch with Becca and almost Kassi. It was the most I've seen of him on a weekday like...ever. It was really nice. He got me flowers! No one has ever gotten me flowers, it was very very sweet. I also got a certificate for a chair massage, ooooh, and a really sweet card. I got him toilet paper and Peeps, which he enjoyed putting in the microwave, which was awesome. And I got him a Hmark card, cuz he only deserves the very best. That was his actual hair in the movie, they had to perm it twice, and it stung. The steak was microwaved and the tots were cold. Among other things. It was cool, there was a sweet NP lookalike contest, the kid who one did a very very good job.

And its time to go to my grandma's to eat BURGERS!!

I. Am. So. Tired. I got 5 hours of sleep, which would seem like enough, but an hour and a half into work, I completely ran out of energy. I left an hour and a half early, came home, and stuffed myself full of macaroni and cheese.

Last night I was in what was probably closest I've ever had to a perfect moment. I was lying in a sea of a bed in Matt's arms, nice and warm, watching Good Eats - my favorite tv show. I was so comfortable, thinking about how much I love Matt and how much I wish I could think like Alton Brown. He taught us how to brew our own beer! Not that I would actually ever wanna try it...it seemed complicated. And then we learned about nuts...I wanna make cashew butter! That seemed easy.

I just have one more midterm left, pilates, until SPRING BREAK! I'm gonna sleep for an entire week! Except for when I have to come back to Alb to work. And when Kat, Becca, and I go camping! Woo camping!!!

MAMA DAY

I got to see my mommy today! I love when she works at one of the wally worlds here because then we get to go to lunch/dinner (on her). Today we went to Applebee's and instead of getting my usual oriental chicken salad, I got the oriental chicken salad WRAP! Its prettymuch the salad wrapped in a tortilla, which was delicioso! And while I was waiting for her at wal-mart I decided to do some shopping which I knew she would pay for. I got some cool snacks and other just I needed for the house...like a red silocone wisk!

And then I came home and proceded to deep clean the whole kitchen. But I still need to clean out the fridge and mop the floor and wipe off the table. I tackled the counters and the oven. Oh! And while sweeping, I discovered we had one of those drawers underneath the oven for pots and pans!! A whole new storage space!! Now I have all sorts of room for more crap! Sweet!!

I had my spanish midterm this morning, which I didn't really care about but still did good on (I think/hope). I slept through my shower time again, so maybe I'll shower after I finish w/the kitchen. Then tomorrow I'll move onto the living room, then the laundry room, then my bathroom, and then my room. Hah, yeah right, I actually won't do shit again until Saturday before our bbq. Fuck, I need to call people about that. Attention to everyone who reads this (Kat, Brian, and Matt:)

Josh and I are having a bbq at our house on Saturday 2/12 around 3 or 4pm. You are welcome to stay the night, but bring shit to sleep in. We will have food, drinks ;) and movies. Of course it would rock if anyone wants to bring anything extra. We have a very nice list of 30 people -- 8 of those people being people I want to invite, and 22 of them being Josh's. I'm sure not even close to everyone will show up. This will be a great way to kick off spring break, and even a better excuse to fill my keg! Woo!

MEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOWMEOW

Man today was fun!!! I went sledding! I flew through the air!! It rocked so much.

So I went to Santa Fe this weekend, I went up there yesterday afternoon. When I got there, my parents and I went to wonderful Souper Salad, where I had delicious Vegetable Beef and ginger bread. Then I went home and took a nap, in order to store all the fat into my BELLEH!! (said like Fat Bastard) I woke up and watched a couple movies on tv, and became so bored I became depressed and started to cry a little. I hate when I do that. Then Kat called me! And we went and had coffee at IHOP!! We sat with some people she knew from swing, and they talked about it the WHOLE time and it was pretty weird. But I had awesome grain 'n nut pancakes, which were DELICIOSO! Came home, watched the end of a weird movie, went to bed at 2am.

Woke up at 9am in typical Sunday morning fashion to Dad and Lorn being VERY loud. Peed, and went back to bed until 12pm. Woke up, ate CEREAL!! Delicioso!! Rice chex, very yummay! Then after a while we decided (meaning I forced everyone) to go sledding! We drove up the mountain to where that ski shop is, but the sledding run was closed for no apparent reason. So we drove up to Big Tesuque and sled there, which was much better than the skiing run would have been anyways! We started off slow, then as we went farther up the trail the runs became steeper, faster, and with jumps. Lorn and I had some fun for about an hour, then for my grand finale, I decided to take the best run, and with more speed. I go down it alot faster than I had the previous times, and take a huge jump in the air. My dad said I went about 2 feet off the ground for a length of close to 6 feet. It seemed alot higher than that, but it was very fast. I was grateful when I landed well, but then I biffed it and tumbled over and fell on my head. I lied on the ground laughing/dying for a good minute, and it was wonderful. I LOVE sledding! Its the cheapest entertainment ever! Came home, and watched tv. And I guess that was it.

And now I need to write a 2 page reaction paper on whether or not I think drugs should be legalized. We read like 5 essays on the subject, and I have sided with no, but just the overall fact that it wouldn't do much good at all.

John Stamos is way hot. Even in post-Uncle Jesse years, way hot.

STAND BY ME

I miss Matt. I've slept alone for 4 nights in a row, which is forever consdering I hadn't gone one night alone in more than a month. I got to see him Sunday night and again on Tuesday, which was nice, but rushed, but I understand that he's busy there.

Luckily Cooper keeps me entertained. He's such a screwball. He constantly meows, but is really smart and finally used the litterbox. He seeked his revenge on Josh by peeing on this stuff, including his computer. Josh chased him with the broom the other morning when he wouldn't stop meowing.

I think I may have lost the faceplate to my stereo, AGAIN. Lets revew the exciting history of my car stereos. I had my entire stereo stolen once. All the other times were my fault. One faceplate broke when it fell out of my purse when I went on the hammers at the county fair. I lost it the day of the DMB concert in '04. I think I broke or lost another faceplate another time. And now it is possible that I have lost this one. I love being retarded.
